Ah yes, the secret sauce recipe. I have tried the San Marzano tomato recipe. I have tried the, "just some tomato, pepper, and salt" recipe. I don't know. Maybe it's just me, but those tomatoes and plain recipes are just too bland for me. I need some kick and punch... and so here it is. Try it and let me know if you like it.
Pizza Sauce
1 ea 15 oz. can Hunt's tomato sauce
1 ea 6 oz can Hunt's tomato paste
3/4 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
2 tsp black pepper (I use fine ground Malabar black pepper from Costco)
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper (optional kick)
1/2 tsp granulated garlic
1 tsp basil
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp crushed fennel
This sauce is not cooked. Just be sure to crush your basil and oregano a bit in the palm of your hand to release the flavors. Also, be sure and let it sit overnight to let the flavors develop.
If I have left over sauce from my frozen sauce cone, I will keep it in a small dipping dish and dip my crust in it.
No sauce goes to waste.
Enjoy...
